"I believe I don't care! " She said with a playful tone. "I'm the only one here who can defrost everyone should they turn into little popsicles! " That was one reason, heat was kind of very important for all of them right now, but her main reason for coming was mainly to be there to help Eula, there was no way she would feel comfortable knowing this mission could be dangerous, and if she got hurt while she stayed safe in the airship, she would not be able to forgive herself for not going. She wasn't some defenseless mage, her fire power was something to fear!
Her thoughts though, would come to a sudden halt as she suddenly felt...a little warmer suddenly. That soft strange looking outfit Yuffie was wearing was now around her, and all thanks to Eula?? Ah, what a nice gesture. If only she could wrap her up into its cozy warmth too! Lifting a bit of the cloth to cover her face a bit, it wasn't to shield it from the cold, but to hide her slightly blushing face. At the same time, the look Yuffie was giving both of them was enough to make Yanfei giggle quietly. "Ah, haha...You are right, this is very warm.." She grinned at her, oh these two were going to be some good friends. "Hmph..! You will pay for that, frostie.." She muttered into Eula's direction. Yuffie here, didnt know the woman well enough, not that she would be afraid of her! If anything, she would make her fear her! ......Yeah right. "Hmm? " She blinked a few times, boy that cold was brisk.."Err..no..They must of came in from the tear like the rest of you? ....Or they are some freakazoid's minions..? " Who knew, it was a guessing game for now!
As they came to a brief stop, Yuffie seemed to look rather surprised she only just would find out such food was there waiting for her, Eula may be on her 'list', but right now, she was pretty darn glad she was there! "Ooh, so there is....alright, I take it back. You are no longer 'frostie', you are 'smart frostie'! She should feel so special! " I mean, Cloud would never of come up with such an idea to stock food for a cold trip like this..! " Those two would never not find ways to tease each other, and it was so very fun!
Her grin returned as Eula snatched her moogle outfit off Yanfei this time, and surprisingly handed it back to her. It seemed they were going to be sharing, and if the situation was different, she might of minded a lot more, but for now, as they were all very cold, she would try to deal with the few moments she would have to endure the cold. "Heey! No way, you don't even know what might be ahead. Two of you aren't going to cut it, I'm coming along.." For all she knew, these monsters could be weak against fire, should they be more cold based, so she would be the very best to have with them should that be the case.....Unfortunately for Yanfei, she noticed Robin was speaking with her, she couldn't ignore him, right? ...It wouldn't be very nice. She figured Eula wouldn't be taking off RIGHT then, so, her kind natured curse would focus on the young man talking to her. "..Oh, yes..she is, she's um, impressive, isn't she? She could handle just about anything, though the cold I imagine is somewhat of a comfort to her.." She blinked, raising a hand dismissively with a small laugh. "Oh, no..don't worry about that! Thank you though, i'm quite fine with torturing Yuffie when it's my turn again..serves her right, don't you think? " The way she flaunted how warm she was, it was so well deserved! Yanfei blinked a moment, glancing back where Eula was only seconds ago with Joker, only to see....an empty, white snowy spot. "Wha! ...Hey?! How are they so fast?! " Yeah, they were already gone by the time she looked back. No following her now, it seemed! "..Uh...Well, I DID used to go all over the place looking for treasures and especially materia...I've been around, but this place isn't one I came to explore. Despite what that spikey-headed jerk sitting in the airship says, I know my way around places!" Then Zack decided to speak, but was amusingly quickly cut off. Yuffie just had to chime in a bit for the fun of it. "..oh, someone's so serious..! I doubt a monster is walking around with an earpiece in it's ear, 'frostie'! "

Eula  Before Robin, Yuffie, and Yanfei could converse much further, Eula and Joker's soft footfalls would approach once again. "We're close to Modeoheim--we could see it. We didn't see any more patrols between our current location and the city. We should move quickly. This window won't last." They had already seen one patrol--there were likely more, and even if not, those would return. "Move out.""Don't you mean, let's mosey?" Zack's playful voice would come through the comms again."For the love of- you weren't even there!""What did I say before?" Eula's voice came through with a rather irate tone this time."Sorry!"It was a short walk from their previous position to the outside of Modeoheim. Though they passed an abandoned factory there, it seemed locked and though Eula could certainly break her way through, she'd rather avoid that if possible. So for now, they passed the factory and went straight to the city. Eula made herself difficult to spot, and motioned for the others to do the same. "Joker, Yuffie, you're up." She pulled the warm covering off Yuffie once again, putting it over Yanfei. It was her turn, it seemed. And since Yuffie was about to do a lot of moving, she was less concerned about her body heat. "I've been told you're both skilled at stealth. Move through the city without being seen--and quickly. Find whatever points of interest you can and report. If you're spotted, retreat to our position and we'll back you up or retreat together." Depending on the severity of the threat."Sounds like it's showtime." Joker said, waving to Yuffie to follow him. "Try to keep up." And then he was off like a bullet, zipping through the shadows in typical Phantom Thief fashion.
It was a short sprint before he came to a stop, motioning Yuffie to do the same as he crouched behind some tattered crates, peeking over. A large, black and orange tear in space stared back at them. "I think we found the source of those pulses." Joker said into his earpiece, and as if on cue, the spatial tear pulsed and spasmed violently, before three demonic figures were spit out onto the ground. Slowly, almost robotically, they stood, and began to walk straight towards the exit of the city. "Watch out, they're coming your way.""We're hidden." Eula assured him through the earpiece. "What is it?""It's some kind of portal. The demons are coming through them. We haven't run into any others, though...""That may not have been a patrol before," Ephraim pointed out through the comm. "It's strange they wouldn't have been back by now. If the group you mentioned is also going towards the exit of the city, it's possible they're filing out and marching, not patrolling.""Marching? Where?""Wherever it is, it can't be good. Best case scenario, they're just going across the world to terrorize people. But if they're so organized to be going somewhere specific... It could be a problem.""They could be amassing an army of demons.""We need more information" Eula pointed out. "Before we decide if we're engaging, keep searching the city. See if there's anything else.""Understood." He glanced at Yuffie. "Careful--stay quiet. Ready to continue?" (( OoC: ))

Yanfei turned to the two as they returned, surprised to see them return so quickly! It was a relief, though. Sure, she knew Eula could handle herself, and with Joker there too, they made quite the deadly team just the two of them, still, how could she not worry? The silliness of the others through the coms was an added bonus, she didn't even get the joke, yet still found herself laughing. Eula scolding them, of course, was far more amusing then their teasing of each other! "Heehee, you guys better be careful. She might have her vengeance on you if you don't keep quiet! "
In the background just as Zack apologized to Eula, Tifa and Aerith's laughter could be heard. What better way to do a serious mission, but to have such a nice light mood?
A short while into their walk as they came to the abandoned city, Yuffie's eyes lit up, oh, a mission for her to take part in? Even if she was partnered up with Joker, he didn't seem like someone who would drag his feet, and she did find him to be pretty cool. Who didn't? "Ha, I've been on missions just like this not long ago. This is easy stuff! " Long before she met Cloud and the others, she really was one skilled, brave little ninja. If anyone was good for this kind of thing, it would be the girl who grew up sneaking around in every dangerous place there was! The moment Joker took off, Yuffie was quick to follow. Despite all that perfection talk, she couldn't even keep up one hundred percent, Joker's enhanced abilities with that Phantom Thief guise really made him a difficult one to catch, lucky though, Yuffie was still quite fast and didn't fall behind to much. She would be there only seconds after he got to his position, stopping as he motioned for her to. "Ohhh, that looks pretty creepy.." She said quietly as she too, took a small peek of the spatial tear. Not quite as creepy as the demons that came falling through. "Makes sense.." It wasn't something to terrify her, she had seen many kinds of monsters, so this didn't really phase her to much. Just more to take down! "Always. Though, isn't it better to split up? We can cover more ground that way. "

Vergil"Might controls everything! And without power, you cannot protect anything...
...Let alone yourself." Joker and Yuffie wouldn't have to go much further before they spotted someone much more human-looking, back facing them--his blue coat floating in the icy wind. He held a sheathed katana in front of him, the bottom planted on the floor as he stood there, still as a statue. As Joker and Yuffie crouched and watched from a hiding place, they'd notice his head raise slightly. "I know you're there." His cold voice called out, his head turning to look over his shoulder--straight towards where they were hiding. Then, like a flash, he turned and his katana was unsheathed, slashing and sending a wave bullet straight towards them.Joker leaped out from the boxes he was hiding behind as they were destroyed behind him, quickly placing his finger to the comm in his ear. "We're compromised!""Retreat! Now!""Understo- agh!" A moment ago the one in the blue coat had been several yards from them, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of him, forcing his katana into Joker's shoulder."Too slow." Slashing it out of his shoulder, the slash sent Joker down and he turned his attention to Yuffie. Any attempt to arm herself with her shuriken would be futile, as one expertly precise slash would disarm her, sending the shuriken flying and into the wall of the nearby bathhouse."We need backup!" Eula shouted into her earpiece, stepping out from her hiding place and taking off into a dead sprint straight into the town, taking off like a bullet almost as fast as Joker and Yuffie had moved."Gods, she's fast!" Robin stepped out of cover as well, hurrying to assist as fast as his legs could take him--which was unfortunately not as fast as Eula's could.Summoning the Song of Broken Pines, she cleaved straight through the group of demons that had come from the portal moments prior on her way, and was very quickly upon the group, swinging her massive blade to parry Vergil's attack against Yuffie. "Take Joker and retreat!" She ordered Yuffie, quickly raising her blade to block an attack from Vergil."Interesting..." The demon in the blue coat said lowly. "Now I'm a little motivated!" He shoved her backwards, and began to slash his katana with blinding speed, which Eula answered as best as she could--her speed especially with such a massive weapon was impressive, but Vergil's speed was perhaps unparalleled. Regardless, she wasn't here to win--she was here to provide support to let everyone escape."Highwind! Do you copy?""We've got a situation here! Gah!""Cloud?! What's going on?!""Caius and his daughter are onboard! They have Phoenix under some sort of mind control!""Gods, can things get any worse?" It almost seemed like they had walked into an ambush.

"What the..does he have some kind of Serenitian sense ability? " The question would remain in her mind for a while, but right now, she had no time to think, all she could do was fill completely worthless as she practically dived away from the oncoming wave bullet, and in the moment it took her to stand, Joker was already struck by the mans blade."Sephiroth...clone?? " His silver hair, his amazing ability skills in battle, it was the first thing that suddenly came to her mind. The incident with Kadaj and the other two was enough for them to handle back then, but there was something different about this man. He didn't look like someone from this world. Still, she couldn't let herself become to distracted with thoughts, as she attempted to ready the giant shuriken, the Conformer, to maybe give him a little taste of pain,He might be surprised that the small framed ninja wasn't quite as weak as he might of hoped, as her hands remained firmly gripped onto the Conformer. "Heh, did you think you could disarm a ninja so easily? Dream on, it's time to feel some payback! " She very much wanted to slash him up just as he did to Joker, it was just as she rushed for him, ready to strike him with all the streghth she had in her, when Eula came out of no where, successfully blocking Vergil's attack against the young ninja. Could she have dodged it, or blocked it herself? Probably, but as of now it wasn't something to figure out in the prideful ninja's mind. "...Don't think you're getting left behind to find this guy alone..I'm coming back! " She was planning on it, at least. She would have to help Joker out first, and get him to a safer location away from Vergil.. "Hey, c'mon...are you okay to stand?? " .Rather he was or not, well, she would have no choice but to carefully lift up his other, non injured arm and settle it around her to give him some leverage to stand better. An injury like that could hinder someone's movement pretty badly..
Then the coms would come through once more, revealing the scary situation back at the Highwind. "Ugh, what the hell..." Who did she want to take their chances with, the Sephiroth wanna-be, or Caius, an impossible enemy, with his irritating daughter, and now Phoenix too? They were out of options for safe retreats at this point. "It isn't safe there..gawd..J-Just give me a moment! " She was the master of materia, she did happen to have every kind, well, at least almost every kind. Most importantly, healing materia, which she cast upon Joker. It may not of been anything like say, Aerith's or any other dedicated healer, but it would keep him from further bleeding and possibly be able to help if they needed it. "Do you think we can help her over power that guy? We have no chance of surviving if we don't get him down first, then all of us can take care of those in the Highwind! " It seemed the best option, with Caius there, it would be a death trap. If they combined all their people out here already, they could most definitly overcome Vergil's power and be done with him, giving many more bodies to fight against Caius and the rest at the Highwind...

Vergil"Might controls everything! And without power, you cannot protect anything...
...Let alone yourself.""Haah!" Yuffie didn't get much time to mouth off as the instant she didn't become disarmed Vergil thrust his Yamato towards her in a stinger, which would send her harshly against the wall she was in front of regardless if she blocked it or not. It was when he attempted to follow up that Eula entered the fray and impressively parried his attack.
His focus then zeroed in on the claymore wielding woman--the only one here he seemed to consider a worthy adversary. Their blades clashed at incredible speed, and she was able to keep up with him rather well--though he noticed very quickly that ferocity that she had initially shown to parry his attack seemed gone for the moment. She wasn't trying to fight, she wasn't trying to win--she was on the defensive, trying only to last. With one last clash of blades, Vergil spoke while their blades scraped against each other. "Where's your motivation?" Eula grunted, and Vergil shoved her backwards.Eula, once the clash had been broken, turned her head and saw Robin and Yanfei coming to back them up. Her eyes widened as they fixated on Yanfei. "No! Retreat!!" She shrieked in a tone of voice so alarmed, it surprised even herself.Vergil's head turned slightly, following Eula's eyeline. Then he faced forward again, before crouching, holding his Yamato sheathed by the handle. "My power shall be absolute..." He said, his voice now accompanied by a demonic overlay as power gathered around him so greatly that anyone too close to him would be pushed back.
Then, the Yamato was unsheathed, and he appeared to vanish from the naked eye.
Yet the slashes and accompanying pain that would ensue in the very next moment would be more than enough proof that he didn't go anywhere. So many attacks in a fraction of a second on every single one of his adversaries there, before he'd reappear in the same place he had been the moment prior, slowly sliding his Yamato back into its sheath. And once the blade clicked into place, fully sheathed--the pain would come, and every single person there would collapse, almost certainly unconscious.
Every single person who had been attacked, at least--as Yanfei would realize she hadn't been targeted at all. She was in the same state she had been prior. But that realization wouldn't be comforting for very long, as she'd feel the demon appear behind her, and she'd feel the Yamato against her neck, threatening her if she moved even a single muscle.Though everyone else collapsed straight to the ground, Eula dropped down to one knee, covering her wounds as best she could. She turned her eyes--wide and rageful--towards the demon behind Yanfei. "You...! Get away from her!""It seems I've found your motivation." The blade pressed against Yanfei's neck threateningly. "She'll be waiting for you. And so will I. Give me a real battle this time." And then, Vergil and Yanfei would both vanish."No!!" Eula forced herself to her feet as if to give chase, before collapsing forward once again, grunting in pain and covering her wounds. "Damn it... I told you not to come!" She shouted in frustration, as if Yanfei could still hear her.(( OoC: ))

EulaThough Eula wanted to give chase immediately, she knew better than to leave everyone else unconscious in the bitter cold. They could very easily succumb to hypothermia in these conditions, and so she first pulled them all into the nearby bathhouse. Abandoned like all the other buildings, which was unfortunate, because warm water would be a blessing right now. After pulling them all into shelter, she worked on treating everyone's wounds, prioritizing by severity. She was glad she packed these satchels ahead of time for everyone--all of them had disinfectant, gauze, and bandages for treating wounds.
After treating everyone's wounds and ensuring no one would bleed out, she hurried to every house nearby to gather what warm clothing and blankets she could find--lucky for Yuffie she had her warm clothing on her and Yanfei didn't have it at the time. She covered all the exposed skin she could with warm clothing, and gave more layers to everyone, before pulling them together and covering them with several thick blankets.
She would've liked to do more, but she had done what she could--and though she had done it all surprisingly quickly due to her experience, she still felt like she had taken too long. So, after ensuring everything was situated and fine, Eula turned, sprinting out the door as fast as her legs could carry her. Though her wounds still bothered her, she wasn't about to leave Yanfei in that demon's hands. And she had a feeling she knew where he was.
As she exited the city, she turned sharply towards the abandoned factory, sprinting towards the sealed door and summoning the Song of Broken Pines, cleaving straight through it. She no longer cared about stealth, needless to say.Vergil's head rose slightly as the sound of the door crashing open caught his attention, as he stood there, arms crossed and sheathed Yamato held close. He was standing with his back to Yanfei, who he had shoved to the ground after he brought them both here--though they both likely knew she wouldn't be able to do much to him. "Here she comes." He said lowly. "How do you expect this battle to go? Will your rescuer triumph, or will she die trying to save you? I look forward to seeing." He raised his head, awaiting the knight's arrival.(( OoC: ))

"..You know, you're going to regret challenging her.." He was going to regret making an enemy of everyone, at some point, maybe not today, but there would come a day he would fall by one of them. "Why are you doing this? Do you just get some sick thrill by hurting innocent people? " He may actually regret taking Yanfei, of all people as bait. She may not be able to hurt him physically, but she could bring pain to his ears! Even in scary moments, she would find some way to talk through anything, as strange as that might of seemed for anyone else, it did tend to help calm her down in dangerous situations. "There isn't a thing Eula can't do, if you really want my opinion...I see you going down very shortly! " She was confidant in Eula's skills, but there was still that lingering worry that would not stop pestering her today. Every second she wasn't in her sights, she was instantly worried. But now, against this unknown, very powerful man, the thought did scare her a little. She was already injured by his unnaturally powerful and unique attack that brought everyone down but Eula..

EulaThe hurried clanging steps on the steel below them would precede the arrival of Eula to the area before Vergil could offer much answer--if indeed he intended to. The Knight of Favonius came to an abrupt stop as she saw both of them, then her eyes narrowed, walking with purpose towards them with both hands on Song of Broken Pines's handle. "Why are you doing this?" She demanded. "Do you just get some sick thrill from hurting people?" Well, that sounded familiar..."I seek strength. It's rare that anyone--let alone a human--can give me a challenge. If you want to save her, you'll have to defeat me.""Tch." Eula's eyes narrowed. "Strength? Then why are you gathering an army of demons?""I am not." Vergil responded simply. "I came through the same portal they did, but I have awareness--I can resist the call. Whoever is summoning demons from my world, they have nothing to do with me.""Call? What-" She instinctively raised her blade as she saw him speed towards her, and just barely blocked his attack."Fight or die." He was done answering questions, it seemed, as he shoved her back through their collision and began to deliver incredibly fast, precise strikes--slashing what seemed like hundreds of times per second.Yet Eula's movements were impressively fast, blocking him rather well even though a few cuts got through. She was already wounded--she could handle some new wounds. Stepping back and avoiding one slash gracefully, her blade was coated with frost as she swung powerfully, impressively parrying his next attack upwards and throwing off his guard. "Vengeance will be mine!" She shouted, turning and spinning with a magnificent flourish of her greatsword befitting a graceful dance--slashing horizontally through Vergil's torso with the Cryo-covered blade. Vergil let out a short grunt in pain, taking a step back. He realized quickly that his movement was slowed, as he felt his skin beginning to feel like it was freezing--as he was covered with frost. What seemed to be a broken sword appeared next to her, floating near her and staying close. "Beg for mercy!" Another horizontal slash, and then came the shift in power--as Eula began an aggressive onslaught of graceful slashes with her blade, putting Vergil on the defensive. An upwards slash, followed by a diagonal, then a spin of her entire body as she slashed twice, before coming up with a powerful diagonal slash upwards--most of these Vergil could have blocked if he wasn't slowed, but he was so used to being so fast that most of them got through his defenses. And with every attack, the broken blade floating next to her would grow in size, almost seeming to slowly repair itself. "Rack and ruin!" She delivered another wide horizontal slash, two smaller blades spawning above him and falling into him, piercing his shoulder and torso before a smaller version of the broken sword appeared and exploded, dealing incredible damage.
Yet Eula wasn't finished, continuing to slash with all the grace of a dancer on a stage, though Vergil was adjusting to the Cryo aura around him, and managed to block several of her next slashes. Still, that blade next to her continued to grow with every slash... And finally, Vergil managed to parry one of her attacks, and as he stepped in to take advantage of the opening he had finally made, time almost seemed to move in slow motion as that sword floating next to her began to shine... it lowered...
And then it exploded.
The beauty of the explosion may have almost distracted from the immense pain--it exploded with such incredible, violent force that Vergil felt nearly all the fight leave him almost immediately. The absurd physical force behind this explosion was beyond any single instance of damage he had ever felt before, causing him to let out a pained yell as he was THROWN with such force across the large room, slamming into the wall all the way across the spacious room and past the platform they had been on. He let out a weak grunt as he fell forward, down into the dark emptiness below.
Eula let out severely exhausted sigh as she dropped down to one knee, bracing herself on her claymore. She breathed heavily, staying silent for several moments, before looking up to Yanfei, and meeting her with a rather cross: "I told you not to come." Yes, there was Eula once again. "I'll remember this..." Truly, vengeance would always be hers.
Even though she didn't know where Vergil had fallen to, she did know he was incredibly powerful--she doubted this would be the last they would see of him. Still, with her wounded and the rest of their team unconscious, she didn't think chasing him was a very good idea. This was more than enough of a victory.(( OoC: ))

Yanfei blinked, did Eula just ask in her steed because he didn't get the time to answer her question before she showed up? Well, she wouldn't have to wonder about that question, as if it really was all that important to know! A villain was a villain, twisted and sickly!
As they learned the rather surprising news, his answer only angered Yanfei more then she thought it would. He was in a way, the victim of being called to this world by some other demon if she had to guess, yet his first instincts upon coming here, were to attack innocent people all for a seek of a challenging battle? Putting everyone at risk, their lives at risk, for something so petty?! Unfortunately, Yanfei's anger wouldn't get her anywhere, and all she could really do was get to her feet the moment the battle began between the two..So as to be ready for any chance she might need to turn up the heat a bit on their new demon friend.
Was it wrong of her to...get so excited as she watched literally what she knew would happen? Eula, being as impressive and amazing as ever, she really was just to incredible with her skills. That man was unbelievably strong, and apparently a demon himself, which made more sense as to why he was so powerful.Yet even so, Eula wasn't about to lose this fight. Each hit she landed on him was all that much more satisfying to watch, as strange and maybe even slightly twisted it was! Eventually, he would learn Yanfei's warning was true when he collapsed..literally right down the eerie darkness below..
With Vergil out of the way, Yanfei waved off the look she received from Eula, rushing over to her and kneeling down in front of her. "Oh, hush! I will never leave you behind, not for a moment..." She began to say, searching through her satchel for her own little match of medical supplies. She made sure she was always stocked on such things, especially in this world where everything was a question to what might happen. She began to carefully and gently work on placing the bandages over any open wounds, while checking her over the best she could. "Do you not care about me at all? " She suddenly questioned as she worked on the bandages. "..You weren't fighting back there to leave, you were about to let yourself be killed if it helped everyone escape, weren't you? You would just throw away your life as though it didn't matter? Do you know what losing you would do to me?? ..I- I could not bear the thought of losing you..You're the one most important person to be, Eula..Please don't treat yourself as if it doesn't matter. I won't leave you behind, that never will happen. You will just have to accept that! "

Eula"That's not necessary--Yanfei..." Eula said warily as Yanfei began to reach for her medical supplies. "I had to use the other supplies for the others' wounds. We won't have much more if you use these." They were ultimately a fallback, as both Joker and Yuffie had access to healing magic, but with both incapacitated, they had to use that fallback. If Yanfei insisted, she'd sigh, submitting to Yanfei's judgment and reserving herself to that. She didn't think she'd be able to change her mind. "...What?" Eula asked crossly. "Do you realize I just fought a dangerous demon with open wounds? Do you think I did that for fun?" Needless to say, her wounds had probably worsened a bit through that activity, but she had every intention to push through it to save Yanfei. "...Ugh." Eula fell silent momentarily as Yanfei continued to talk. She was not good at... things like this. She leaned forward, and literally in the middle of Yanfei's little spiel, she'd feel surprisingly soft lips pressing against her own. ...It was short, it was chaste, it was inexperienced, but perhaps it got the point across. Eula leaned back, and Yanfei might notice the incredible redness on her cheeks as well as the nervous expression that accompanied it. "You talk too much..." She muttered, standing and turning away as quickly as she could to hide her embarrassment, walking hurriedly back towards the entrance, as if to escape this sudden nervousness she had forced herself into. "A-at any rate, we need to return to the others! Their wounds are treated and they should be warm, but I don't want to leave them unattended while unconscious." She said quickly, suddenly desperate to change the subject.(( OoC: ))

Of course, she would put everyone else first before herself. It really, really bothered Yanfei to the core. It really was like she treated her life as if it weren't worth saving. Yanfei didn't hesitate, and continued right on with dressing her wounds. The cloth was already imbedded with anti-biotics, to keep from any infections until she could get better care, or even better healing magic. " It is necessary, and i'm not letting you suffer further! " She really wasn't going to change her mind, she should know that once Yanfei had set her mind to something, it was going to be done. "..I mean, you don't care about my feelings, how I would feel if something happened to you. I would be...completely lost without you. For you to---!" Yanfei's words suddenly came to a abrupt end, when soft lips pressed against her own, her green eyes widened in surprise as her mind pieced together what just happened.Eula, the one who seemed so oblivious to her feelings for so long, and so many hints, kissed her! Her face reddened softly as she kind of fell into a brief trance, looking onto the same spot Eula was, before she so quickly escaped! Her heart was certainly in a happy little flutter right now!
It was as though she heard nothing of what she spoke of, poor Joker and Yuffie might of left her mind for the moment, as all she could think of now as the person so eager to escape the situation she just threw herself into. "...Eula.." She slowly got to her feet, looking at her, her face reddening more. "...." She was so good with talking to people when it came to her work, but when it came to feelings she had for Eula there, it was no longer an easy thing. It seemed ,maybe after so long..she could get those unspoken words out. "You know....These past few months, I spent a lot of time trying to complete a mission that's been very important to me.." Maybe she would keep her interest longer, if she made it sound more interesting with a 'mission'. Enough that she wouldn't storm out the door to the others, anyway. She just..needed to get this out, especially in the situation they were in. She wasn't one to be gloomy, but what if something DID happen.She would never get to tell her. "Christmas time, everyone was so busy, including you. I couldn't quite get the right moment and never did..I began to try another idea, and I spent the day asking around the city of Marvel, asking everyone I could for just one lovely place they might of known of. I didn't get much help but them until I found Unisha, who brought me to the very place I was hoping to find. I had this all planned out for one silly day this world celebrates, I thought it could be fun..That day came, and there again, I wasn't able to do anything in the end. We are always so busy, fighting some enemies, there is almost always something trying to stop me from completing....this mission..." She paused, as if attempting to get her courage up, and the more she tried, the redder her face became. "...The thing is....what i'm trying to say....I wanted to take you to the most beautiful area in this world, just the two of us...so that I could tell you just how special...how important you are to me...Eula..I love you..I love you so much! " She was nervous, but the weight that was lifted from her shoulders suddenly with those words was so worth the nervousness. How long she wanted to say them, and Eula's actions today helped open the door for her. "....I waited so long to say these words..." She sighed, looking away as the nervousness grew.."Not the way I had planned...i'm sorry, I wanted it to be perfect...but now, at such a time...i'm sorry!" Well, now she was the one who wanted to escape! She was being so selfish, wasn't she? They should be with Joker and Yuffie yet, she couldn't wait to tell her her feelings anymore. It felt like she would just burst if she contained them any longer. And now that it was out, she wondered if it really was a bad idea. "...Y-you're right..we should go tend to them.." She aligned her escape rout, the door Eula was about to leave through moments ago, and began to hurriedly make her way to start on that cold track back to the other two.

EulaEula's quick steps came to a stop as Yanfei began to speak, seeming like she needed to share something important. Eula crossed her arms, and though she didn't turn towards Yanfei, she turned her head, listening to her as she spoke. She was feeling a little too... vulnerable right now, emotionally speaking. It was hard to face her after that. She wasn't the type to do things genuinely, or share how she actually felt, or... anything. She listened to everything Yanfei had to say intently before speaking. "...Despite my aristocratic upbringing, I am not a woman of extravagant needs. I don't need to see appealing sights or do particular things for a moment to be special--and any moment we spend together is- ..." She cut herself off, feeling the flush return to her cheeks before she divulged too much. As if it wasn't obvious what she was saying! "A-at any rate... we don't need to go anywhere special... just sitting together and chatting... is..." She muttered about as quietly as she could manage, as if to explain the thought she cut herself off on. "This is too much to keep discussing! We understand our feelings on the matter--I... reciprocate your feelings, so no more! Anymore on the topic and you'll know what true vengeance is!" There came up that wall--it was inevitable. She felt WAY too vulnerable in this moment, and she felt the intense need to block the waves of her heart with pillars of frost. It wasn't that she didn't trust Yanfei, obviously, but... this was just her nature, due largely to her upbringing. "I do... appreciate the thought... the effort regardless. But that's the last to say on the topic!" Obviously referring to her attempts to arrange special moments between the two of them, even if Eula made it clear that it was unnecessary.
Every moment they spent together was special to her.(( OoC: ))
